This Pivot book examines literary elements of urban topography that
have animated Alan Moore, Peter Ackroyd, and Iain Sinclair's
respective representations of London-ness. Ann Tso argues these
authors write London "psychogeographically" to deconstruct popular
visions of London with colonial and neoliberal undertones. Moore's
psychogeography consists of bird's-eye views that reveal the brute
force threatening to unravel Londonscape from within; Ackroyd's
aims to detect London sensuously, since every new awareness recalls
an otherworldly London; Sinclair's conjures up a narrative
consciousness made erratic by London's disunified landscape.
Drawing together the dystopian, the phenomenological, and the
postcolonial, Tso explores how these texts characterize
"London-ness" as estranging.
